What is the rental yield in Princess Tower?
Princess Tower returns 5.6% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 80,000 a year (115 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 1.44M (median of 15 sales in the last 12 months, latest Sept 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
How much does a 1 bedroom in Princess Tower cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 1.44M (1,560 AED/sqft), from 15 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
What are apartments in Princess Tower selling for right now?
Registered sales of ready units in Princess Tower over the last 12 months have a median of 1,560 AED/sqft, across 15 sales. That uses the same trailing year as the rent and yield figures, requires at least five sales, and excludes off-plan. Floor, view and condition move a specific unit's price around it.
Have prices in Princess Tower risen or fallen?
Median price per square foot moved +2.9% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 15 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
How does Princess Tower compare with Dubai Marina?
Its 5.6% gross yield sits -0.3 pts against the Dubai Marina median of 5.8%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain. Gross yield divides the median annual rent from new registered Ejari contracts starting in the last 12 months by the median price of the building's registered sales in the last 12 months (at least 3 sales) for the same bedroom type, with ready and off-plan sales counted alike.
